Exactly. It's not going to have 2080ti performance. The 1060 didn't have 980ti performance.

Yeah but I would just like to see actual evidence of VRAM requirements and any detrimental effects. Granted we all want more memory but at 1440p I have never had an issue with 8gb VRAM on any game so far. Also the actual cost savings of less VRAM.
What will be interesting is the comparison if 3rd party vendors release cards with more VRAM.
1x 2080 Ti is great as it can just about maintain 4K 60fps in a lot of games but there is a few it struggles with and falls a bit short in games like the division 2 on occasions. I only need a little bit more power to make sure I can always hit a minimum of 4K 60fps in the games I want and the 3090 should more than do that comfortably.
Haven't played GTA V in many, many months but even at 4K it should still give a nice boost over one 2080 Ti as it scales decently well with 2x 2080 Ti's still.
Ray tracing performance boost is what I'm really looking forward to and the 3090 could be shaping up to be really strong at that, soon find out tomorrow though.
Interesting!
Like it or not (and a lot of PCMR types hate it), the consoles dictate the lie of the gaming landscape.
The consoles are about to have their usable memory doubled.
People who think that isn't going to have an impact on game development - or up the requirements on PC hardware - I think they will be proven wrong, albeit perhaps not immediately, but steadily as more "next gen" games are released.
Actually I may have exaggerated my framerates in Control a 4K Ultra with RT..
So, 15fps might be doable with an RTX 3090
Well, that concludes my theory that it may only look a bit weird because of lower resolutions.
I can clearly see the grittiness around her head and weird line running down her leg so I guess RT looks like that even at 4k.
I upgraded to a 2080 Ti over the 1080 Ti myself not because of RTX but I need that extra raster performance in games where the 1080 Ti couldn't quite keep up in non SLI games as I like to plat at 4K 60 at ultra settings. I have absolutely no regrets in upgrading. Have absolutely loved these cards for the pure performance, RTX is just a very nice bonus.
Anyone who says they know is lying, but there's a possibility that it might by a small amount. I would be surprised if we were talking double digit percent impact, and it's possible it might have zero impact

We don't know
You would think in theory that yes, they would. But wait and see. You really don't have long now and that will be answered.

I went from a 2080super to a 1080ti ( long story with good reason ) i found i only played RT games because i had RT.. and im sure when i upgrade to a 3000 series i will be getting more RT games. Though i will be re playing control with RT and DLSS for sure for my second play through as im still confused about what happened at the end.
The 3090? Absolutely. PCIe v3 already holds back the RX 5700 XT in streaming from a v4 NVME drive. I don't think that the effect will be large on a x16 slot, but if you have to plug in another card you will see that x16 slot become a x8 slot and you will see a drop in performance. Plus Intel are supposed to be releasing PCIe v4 boards at the end of the year.
Yeah, that's for people who think their asses weren't already widened enough by the FE cards.
I'm probably going to sell my 9700k when intel and amd refresh their cpus. I hope intel would have gen 4/5 by then, and maybe will give a bit of a boost in gpu performance which will be nice. . Damn I'm in Venice at the moment and I will be watching the conference tomorrow with my card in hand to buy a 3090. Hope it's not the rumoured $1900 that'll be ridiculous
. Damn I'm in Venice at the moment and I will be watching the conference tomorrow with my card in hand to buy a 3090. Hope it's not the rumoured $1900 that'll be ridiculousI reckon in a million years time it'd be pretty much a fossil, so the price would probably be pretty high indeed by then
